BIG's Telosa City Presents a Master Plan for Future Urban Development
"Encompassing 159,000 acres, the master plan integrates renewable energy production, drought-resistant water systems, and eco-friendly architecture. At its center, a timber skyscraper known as the Equitism Tower is envisioned as both a landmark structure and a symbol of the city's proposed economic model. Incorporating aeroponic farms, photovoltaic roofs, and water storage systems, the tower represents the principle of Equitism, in which land ownership and the city's growth are designed to benefit all residents."
"The urban design emphasizes accessibility and public space. Following the 15-minute city model, schools, workplaces, and essential services are planned within short commutes from homes. Fossil fuel-powered vehicles are excluded, with transport relying on bicycles, scooters, autonomous electric vehicles, and the Sky Tram. Green infrastructure and native planting are integrated throughout the city, with managed reservoirs forming part of a central public spine."
Telosa is planned to accommodate five million residents by 2050, with an initial phase for 50,000 people by 2030. The master plan spans 159,000 acres and integrates renewable energy production, drought-resistant water systems, and eco-friendly architecture. A central timber skyscraper, the Equitism Tower, will house aeroponic farms, photovoltaic roofs, and water storage, and embodies an Equitism model where land ownership and city growth benefit all residents. The design follows a 15-minute city approach, excludes fossil-fuel vehicles in favor of bikes, scooters, autonomous electric vehicles and a Sky Tram, and embeds green infrastructure and managed reservoirs along a public spine.
